Engineered swift equilibration for arbitrary geometries
Adam G. Frim, Adrianne Zhong, Shi-Fan Chen +2
Engineered swift equilibration (ESE) is a class of driving protocols that enforce an equilibrium distribution with respect to external control parameters at the beginning and end o…
Solution to the Fokker-Planck equation for slowly driven Brownian motion: Emergent geometry and a formula for the corresponding thermodynamic metric
Neha S. Wadia, Ryan V. Zarcone, Michael R. DeWeese
Considerable progress has recently been made with geometrical approaches to understanding and controlling small out-of-equilibrium systems, but a mathematically rigorous foundation…
A new method for parameter estimation in probabilistic models: Minimum probability flow
Jascha Sohl-Dickstein, Peter Battaglino, Michael R. DeWeese
Fitting probabilistic models to data is often difficult, due to the general intractability of the partition function. We propose a new parameter fitting method, Minimum Probability…
Critical Point-Finding Methods Reveal Gradient-Flat Regions of Deep Network Losses
Charles G. Frye, James Simon, Neha S. Wadia +3
Despite the fact that the loss functions of deep neural networks are highly non-convex, gradient-based optimization algorithms converge to approximately the same performance from m…
